What Causes Sore Throat, Ear Ache, Left Jaw Pain And Toothache?

Hi I have had a sore throat for 2 months, Ear hurts one minute then itches next. throat hurts on left side and ear on left side, My jaw hurts on right side. Dont know if i have tmj or not. My nose has run off and on everyday for several months, I had a toothache on right side i had it pulled, if i can remember right i think this all happened after i started having the tooth hurt when i chewed on it.. I had a root canal done about 5 years ago and was fine until it started hurting. the tooth i had a root canal done that is the one i had pulled 2 weeks ago. hope you can help. I dont have any faith in the doctors here in my town. thanks.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain all the symptoms seems to be related to be starting from the infected tooth and if it is upper back tooth it may have roots lying close to the sinuses and causing infection in the sinuses and the post nasal drip that is an infectious mucous can drain to the throat and can cause infection in throat and as ear is connected to throat it can led to infection in ear as well..
You should consult an Otolaryngologist and after a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like MRI or PNS VIEW of sinuses confirmation of cause can be done and treatment can be planned accordingly..
As of now take Ibuprofen for pain relief and do warm saline gargles and steam inhalations..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods and maintain a good oral hygiene..

Hope this information helps.

Thanks and regards.
